**Ravens may go to the top right part of the nearest platform and hold UP to continuously jump, if done correctly all the flames will completely fail to harm him. | |||
**Eves can use their ability to glide to stay up in the air long enough for the fires to die down if done from on top of a platform. | |||

*Ravens can use [[Burning Rush]] to stay in place whenever the Dragon attacks, and then follow up with [[Valkyrie's Javelin]] for the damage.
